He pointed out that the government will do a good job of explaining and let the public understand that the red and yellow codes are only for hotel quarantine and confirmed cases: "The original 5,000 people were limited, but I hope to reduce it to 1,000 people, so that the remaining 4,000 people can do some point-to-point activities. "

Li Jiachao emphasized that the "yellow code" is only for people under quarantine, and the Health Bureau is actively reviewing the data.

Tian Beichen, a member of the Legislative Council of the Real Politics Roundtable, said on a radio program this morning that he agrees with the measure of wearing electronic wristbands, but is worried that if the authorities do not have enough manpower to enforce the law, it will become a "toothless tiger".

He suggested that the authorities should make good use of the existing tools to temporarily suspend the vaccine passes of quarantine persons or close contacts, and then resume them after they have completed quarantine or testing. In fact, the function is equivalent to a yellow code.
